Hi, Dave and all!
I've tried BRLTTY on Widows 11 with a Handy Tech Modular Evolution 88
display connected. I can get BRLTTY working when running the command prompt as
admin user. Running it as a normal user, however, gives a 'missing
braille message acknowledgement' message. Se attached log file

I only have Windows 10 here. I'd appreciate it very much if those with Windows

with them.

Hi all
I'm trying to use BRLTTY for console screen reading on Windows 10. I've
installed BRLTTY with libusb and configured it (as attached).
I use NVDA regularly, but have installed JAWS too. Hence I believe the fs

Note that the Brlapi package is meant for the development of
